## Description

The `wpforms_form_pages_content_before` action fires before a form is displayed on the site’s frontend, and the form was created with the Form Pages addon.

## Parameters

This action does not accept any parameters.

## More Information

The `wpforms_form_pages_content_before` only fires for forms created with the [Form Pages addon](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-install-and-use-the-form-pages-addon/ "Form Pages Addon"). It executes early on in the output rendering process.

    _e( 'If you would like to download our digital catalog, click here.', 'plugin-domain' );
  
}
add_action( 'wpforms_form_pages_content_before', 'wpf_dev_form_pages_content_before');
